Adam Dunn Never Ceases To Amaze Me

Adam Dunn is one fascinating barnyard animal. He is the owner of two interesting records:

1) He is tied for the record for most WPE points collected with a single swing of the bat with .90. This is of course accomplished by the backyard fantasy scenario of hitting a 2 out, down by 3, bottom of the whatever, walkoff grand slam. Of course he did it against the Indians. Box

2) He is also, fascinatingly, the only batter ever to hit 40+ home runs in a season, yet fail to slug at least .500, thanks to his 2006 campaign in which he whacked 40 jacks, yet slugged but .490. I guess to do that you have to hit for a really low batting average, and not hit very many doubles. A true TTO Hall of Famer. Dunn's BBRef

Ed: He's coming perilously close to doing it again this year!
